Hmm... removed by mistake?

Did you parse this with Sphinx? It doesn't sound a valid ReST construction
to my eyes, as:

1) I've seen some versions of Sphinx to abort with severe errors when 
   there's no blank line after the horizontal bar markup;

2) It will very likely ignore the "::" (I didn't test it myself), as you're
   not indenting the horizontal bar. End of indentation will mean the end
   of an (empty) literal block.

So, I would stick with:


	Some of the CPPC registers are exposed via sysfs under:

	  /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/acpi_cppc/

	---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

	for each cpu X::


or:

	Some of the CPPC registers are exposed via sysfs under:

		/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/acpi_cppc/

	for each cpu X

	--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

	::

(with is closer to the original author's intent)

Same applies to the other similar changes on this document.
